No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

“The Life at Conception Act legislatively declares what most Americans believe and what science has long known — that human life begins at the moment of conception, and therefore is entitled to legal protection,” Sen. Paul said.

“The right to life is guaranteed to all Americans in the Declaration of Independence and ensuring this is upheld is the Constitutional duty of all Members of Congress,” he added.

And the best way to ensure liberty is by passing massively restrictive laws to take away that liberty. Makes perfect sense.

The woman already has the right to choose if she wants to have sex or not. No one is taking away her right to choose. It's not like secondhand smoke.

We jail murderers all the time in this country because they have taken the life of someone else. Why is that? Because we recognize the most essential liberty IS life.

"Oh, but what about rape and incest?", people say. If you want to exclude ~5% of all abortions because of rape or incest, I'm sure that many pro-life groups would help sign that bill into law. As such, it is yet another case of an extreme stituation justifiying a law for all situations.

I'd expect a hell of a spike in the number of reports of rape and incest.

Abortion is an issue much larger than just a woman's right to choose. Look how abortion has impacted our society since it became legal. Look at the promiscuity, illigitimate birth rate and the gradual numbness to violence that has lead to other societal ills.

Now perhaps the abortion law isn't the cause and only another symptom, but when people start bitching about why we have a propensity for violence and a generation that doesn't respect their fellow man, perhaps they should sit back, take a moment and think about what has gotten us to this place.

There are more adoptions through private agencies each year than state run agencies. It is a very painful process to use a publically run adoption agency, and often the child is more than a year old before the adoption is actually complete.

You cannot deny that a fetus is a separate life than its mother. It has its own set of DNA and genes. It might require the mother to survive, but it is indeed a separate life. Science backs that up. I personally don't believe that a zygote is a human life, but at some point the unborn is a human life worthy of the same rights as any other human being. That point should not be chosen arbitrarily as it is now. The least arbitrary point you can pick is conception.

Would you support an increase in social services to assist the increase of children who would be born in poverty?
